Sunset over Serengeti

A final sunset photo, one of my all-time favourites.

A big bull buffalo grazing, while several wattled starlings hitch a ride

Elephant in the golden grass of the Serengeti

This young elephant took a short mock charge – showing off his bravery.

Elephants under acacia

A leopard – the third we saw on this trip.

A southern ground hornbill.  The photo doesn’t do it justice – this bird is huge.  For perspective, this is the same tree, at almost the same distance that the leopard in the previous photo was on.

Grant’s gazelle – the larger of the Seregeti’s two gazelle species

Kopjes like this dot the Serengeti.  were formed when the soft volcanic rock covering the savannah was eroded away to expose granite below.
